Please enjoy this video from last year in which Richard Tice opines liberally about Angela Rayner’s tax affairs and calls for her departure. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before he applies this very strict moral principle to his own tax arrangements.

@DHSgov @WhiteHouse Which God?

‘Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.’ —Proverbs 3:5-6 One nation under God.

@Number10cat @TiceRichard Resign you fraud & cheat. You hounded out Angela Rayner for less.

@TiceRichard That's a lot of words to say the story was correct. Where's your apology?

THE SUNDAY TIMES: A STATEMENT FROM RICHARD TICE MP, DEPUTY LEADER OF REFORM UK   The Sunday Times is still crawling all my business career in the hope of dredging up some more obscure technical issues from years ago. They openly admit their "journalism" is a joint venture with a senior Labour Party activist. This smear campaign is getting ridiculous. As a result, I now appear to have a debenture slot on the front page as they rehash the same old dividend story. The Sunday Times article features assumptions, numbers and dates that are simply incorrect. Like the rest of us, they and their Labour Party tax experts sometimes make mistakes. It is all extremely technical: good luck keeping up. Meanwhile, the Financial Times has been busy calling up former work colleagues and advisers from my past, trying to find some dirt. This is what we, at Reform UK, are now up against.   In a highly successful career spanning 40 years, I have done business in 12 countries across three continents, and been a director of more than 150 companies. I have helped build thousands of homes, creating thousands of jobs and generating hundreds of millions of value for shareholders and investors along with many tens of millions of tax for HMRC. I am very proud of this record. Throughout this career I have taken professional tax advice and have always paid everything that I was advised to pay.   Here’s the reality: tax efficiency is a basic corporate responsibility and duty to shareholders. A long career with multiple businesses is bound to feature some errors. Naturally I am always happy to put things right and if numbers need rechecking, of course I will pay what is owed – be that more or less. It is worth noting that last time my political enemies did this to me, during the Brexit referendum, HMRC concluded that I had significantly overpaid.   It is a measure of Reform UK’s success that Establishment media is coming after me in this way. Senior elements within News UK seem very unhappy about how well we are doing. Doubtless this will not be the last time, and I will not be the last target. Certain journalists are determined to put the worst possible gloss on everything I have done.   Meanwhile they wilfully ignore the highly questionable accounting of millions of pounds in Labour Party Properties Ltd. By any objective measure, this is a much simpler and more shocking story - but we are not in the land of objectivity here.   The relentless effort to tarnish my good name is the kind of behaviour that deters other successful business people from going into politics. The consequences are very real - as we can all see with the current Labour Cabinet, which is entirely devoid of business experience. The result? A flatlining economy and dire public services. All in a nation facing humiliation on the world stage.   After several weeks of this treatment, I won’t be indulging the Sunday Times any further. I am working flat out for my constituents and campaigning for the local elections. If my primary interest were making money, I wouldn’t be giving everything I’ve got to trying to save our country.   PS: It is worth noting that we have the longest tax code in the world at circa 24,000 pages and counting, whereas Hong Kong’s is less than 500 pages.   Richard Tice MP, Deputy Leader, Reform UK

@DHSgov @Lind_SGE @SecMullinDHS Statistically immigrants commit fewer crimes, and have a more positive contribution to the local communities.

Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime. President Trump and @SecMullinDHS will never stop fighting for justice for the American victims and their families who have been maimed and murdered by illegal aliens who should have never been in our country.

@SecDuffy If only you hadn't fired them in the first place. Like the Spanish PM said of Trump, you don't applaud when the person who started the fire turns up with a bucket. Clown show.

@ThatEricAlper Sunscreem's O3

What's in your music collection that's probably not in mine?

🚨 PAKISTAN DROPS A BOMB ON ISRAEL AT THE UN 🔥 Pakistan’s ambassador just destroyed Israel in front of the entire United Nations: “Israel is a rogue state, an occupier, and a state terrorist that violates UN resolutions, commits genocide in Gaza, and practices state terrorism even on Palestinian land.” He didn’t hold back. This speech is now going viral across the Middle East. The world is watching. Share before they try to hide it 👇

@allenanalysis ..but then Trump has been acting unilaterally and also threatening the same allies he's now expecting to come and help fix his mistake by imposing an illegal naval blockade. So there is that.

Keir Starmer just made it official. The United Kingdom will not join the blockade. Britain. America’s most loyal ally. The country that followed Washington into every military engagement for 80 years. The country building a 30-nation coalition alongside Trump just weeks ago. The Prime Minister just said no. Publicly. By name.

@ATRightMovies @TheRealDudja Triangle

@IsraelMFA @sanchezcastejon But are they burning the effigy because he's a jew, or because he murders children and is a bit of a belligerent twat?

The appalling antisemitic hatred on display here is a direct result of @sanchezcastejon government’s systemic incitement. And even now, the Spanish government remains silent. The Spanish chargé d’affaires was summoned for a reprimand.

@WhiteHouse Wasn't there a Canadian on board too?

The daring spirit of the American people — a historic mission, homeward bound. 🌎 Tonight, our Artemis II astronauts are set to splash down on Earth after their journey around the Moon. 🇺🇸

@KemiBadenoch That Welfare cost is largely made up of pension costs.

We are now spending five times more on welfare than on defence. This must change! The Conservatives will bring back the two-child benefit cap and use the money for defence. The security of the United Kingdom is our priority, and we have a plan for a stronger country.

@DrewPavlou 21 men like him gave evidence against him. They're fighting alright.

Ben Roberts-Smith was just arrested on alleged war crimes charges. Miscarriage of justice. He served his country. If we were ever invaded we would need men like him to fight to save Australia. How can we be so ungrateful? Free Ben Roberts-Smith.

@SecRubio @stronkdaddy Let's not all join him too soon eh?

Jeanette and I join our Christian brothers and sisters to reflect on the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ which made a way for us to live with Him in Eternity.

We’re all saying and feeling like she is and it’s like fuck everything.

@TheJusticeDept @WhiteHouse @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche How are you going with fully releasing the Epstein Files?

Thanks to @AGPamBondi and @DAGToddBlanche's leadership, this Justice Department has charged 125,000+ people with crimes since the start of the second Trump Administration and has DECIMATED drug cartels and their leaders: ✔️El Mencho, the leader of CJNG, is dead ✔️Nicolas Maduro is out of power and in United States custody ✔️El Mayo, the co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, has pled guilty to federal charges

@ATRightMovies The Hill

@AGPamBondi @WhiteHouse And helped orchestrate a massive cover up of involvement in child sex trafficking. Is the next role flight attendant on the Lolita Express?

Over the next month I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the amazing Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about, and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and this Administration. Leading President Trump’s historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime, and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history. Since February 2025, we have secured the lowest murder rate in 125 years, secured first-ever terrorism convictions against members of Antifa, shattered domestic and transnational gangs across the country, taken custody of more than 90 key cartel figures, and won 24 favorable rulings at the Supreme Court. I remain eternally grateful for the trust that President Trump placed in me to Make America Safe Again.

@vonderleyen @franceshinde @Keir_Starmer Iran's actions? Aren't you missing a couple of other idiots & likely war criminals?

Good call yesterday with @Keir_Starmer. We discussed the situation in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s actions are putting global economic stability at risk. We will work with our partners to ensure freedom of navigation can resume as soon as possible. We also discussed the upcoming EU-UK Summit. A key moment to deliver on last year’s commitments and further strengthen our partnership.

In his Status newsletter @oliverdarcy reports the White House got Getty to delete this photo (from a Thanksgiving White House PHOTO-OP STUNT) because @PressSec @karolineleavitt was offended It ran only in a Swiss newspaper. It would be a shame if you retweeted and Streisanded it
